¡Alive At The Village Vanguard
¡Fred Hersch & Esperanza Spalding
Description
[Machine Translation] Fred Hirsch, one of the greatest piano poets of our time, and Esperanza Spalding, who has recently been showing her academic curiosity as well as her natural beauty in her playing. The duo first performed together at the Jazz Standard in New York in 2013, and after a performance at the same club in May 2018, they arrived at this Vanguard. Esperanza said, "Fred is as serious and dedicated to music as he is to life and death, but once we start playing together, it's just a pleasure," and that "in this piece you can feel the vitality of the Vanguard, the audience, and our interplay. Fred says, "You can feel the vitality of the Vanguard, the audience, and our interplay. The performance is full of miraculous moments. While facing the music straightforwardly, both sides remain free, and the dialogue is full of musical joy as they show their intimacy. The band performed a variety of standards, flying Gismonti numbers, and finally, "A Wish," a poem by Norma Winston on Hirsch's ultimate masterpiece, "Valentine. Fred, who has no bass guitar and concentrates on vocals, showed not only his free vocalization but also his talent to improvise and weave new stories. This is a contemporary work of great interest, a collection of the best 8 tracks from 3 performances on 3 different days (6 stages), where each night was a completely different performance.
